She's Gold & He's Garbage

[INTRO]
(Slow, heavy synth bass pulsates. Sounds of rain and a lighter flicking. Vocal is whispered, intimate)
Yeah...
Look at you.
Wipe that mascara, baby.
It’s already over.

[VERSE 1]
(Minimalist electronic plucks, dark atmosphere)
Neon lights are blurring 
in the parking lot
Watching you cry 
over a man who forgot
That you are the fire, 
you are the heat
He’s just a shadow, 
walking down the street
Stop checkin' your phone, 
looking for his name
He’s playing checkers, 
you’re in a different game
Dry your eyes, 
pick your shoulders up off the floor
He’s a 2 out of 10, 
you are so much more.

[CHORUS]
(Beat drops: heavy, distorted synth bass, crisp snap-trap snare)
So buy yourself the flowers, 
yeah, fill the room
You can love yourself better 
in the dark and gloom
It’s his loss, a stupid, tragic mistake
You’re a Rockstar, give ‘em nothing to take
Kiss his memory goodbye, watch it fade to black...
No looking back, no,  (No looking back, no)
no looking back. (No looking back)

[VERSE 2]
(Beat continues, but more staccato/driving)
He gave you the bare minimum, a skeleton love
You deserve the heavens, the stars above
Let him see your smile 
in a picture online
Looking like a queen, and doing just fine
He thought you’d break, 
thought you’d fall apart
But you’re rebuilding a stronger heart
Yeah, he made the mistake, 
let him live with the ghosts
You're dancing alone, you're the one who boasts.

[BRIDGE / BEAT DROP]
(Vocals become distorted/layered. Bass becomes extremely heavy. The "dark" drop)
(Whisper) It's his loss.
(Shout) His loss!
Gold!
(Drop)
She don’t need your love, 
She don’t need your touch
She don’t need a man 
to tell her she's too much
She can love herself, yeah, 
She can love herself!
Better. Better. Better.

[CHORUS]
(Beat drops: heavy, distorted synth bass, crisp snap-trap snare)
So buy yourself the flowers, 
yeah, fill the room
You can love yourself better 
in the dark and gloom
It’s his loss, a stupid, tragic mistake
You’re a Rockstar, give ‘em nothing to take
Kiss his memory goodbye, watch it fade to black...
No looking back, no,  (No looking back, no)
no looking back. (No looking back)

[OUTRO]
(Beat fades out to just the heavy synth bass and ambient noise)
Yeah, you’re beautiful.
Don't you forget it.
She's Gold and he's garbage.
(Sound of door slamming, then silence)
